Amy Winehouse's parents wept today as they visited the home where the singer died.

Holding hands, Mitch and Janis Winehouse cried as they thanked fans who had gathered outside the Camden Square house.

After arriving with the star's ex-boyfriend Reg Traviss, Mr Winehouse said: "Amy was all about love. Her whole life was devoted to her family and friends. We are speechless, we are devastated."

Mrs Winehouse took pictures of the tributes on her mobile phone as Mr Winehouse told fans: "We are so glad you are here. I know a lot of you. We have been together for five or six years. You people in the street I can't tell you what it means to us. It has made (her death) a lot easier for us."

The 27-year-old singer's body was discovered by her bodyguard Andrew Morris in her bed shortly before 4pm on Saturday, by which time she may have been dead for up to six hours.

Her parents were due to see it for the first time today. A post mortem examination was expected to begin today, although the initial results may not be available to her family until tomorrow. The Standard has been told that the family want to hold a tribute concert after a traditional Jewish burial in north London. Winehouse's close friends Mark Ronson and Sir Elton John are among those who could perform.

A family friend said: "They will be going to see her body today, and will then look to make the funeral arrangements as soon as possible. They want to bury her according to Jewish tradition, which will be an intimate affair most likely near their home in Enfield.

They are aware that thousands will want to attend, including fans and famous faces, and know this is something they will have to address.

Although they are still in shock and coming to terms with her death, an early plan is to hold a private funeral and then follow it with some sort of memorial concert where everyone can celebrate her music and her memory."

Police said today that no drugs paraphernalia was found at the singer's £2 million house and that no criminal investigation was taking place.

Several sources have claimed Winehouse was on a drink and drugs-fuelled jaunt on Friday evening in Camden following a split from Mr Traviss, 34.

But her spokesman Chris Goodman claims she was on her own at home on Friday, and had been well enough to play a drum kit that she had just moved into her bedroom. She is said to have received complaints from a neighbour that night over her drumming.

Mr Goodman said: "She was at home alone with Andrew, the security guard. He discovered her alone in her bed. There were no drugs found there by police, but at this stage we just don't know what happened. The post mortem is due to begin today and we may not know the results until tomorrow.
